The Best Plastic Free & Vegan Easter Eggs

Easter is just around the corner, and with it is the thought of Spring holidays, egg hunts, bunnies and, probably most of all, chocolate Easter eggs.

In the UK, around 80 million Easter eggs are sold every year, and it’s estimated that each individual child will receive a mind-blowing nine eggs each.

Adults aren’t immune from this love of Easter eggs either, and whether you’re someone who can’t resist eating them all at once or prefer to save your chocolate eggs to savour over time, one way or another, you will find yourself with a stack of packaging for the bin.

In this blog, we’d like to tell you about our favourite free-from and vegan Easter eggs and where you can find elusive plastic-free Easter eggs.

Vegan Easter Egg With Plastic-Free Packaging

Some businesses have realised that many consumers want to enjoy their chocolate eggs without all the accompanying waste.

Here are some chocolate Easter eggs that come without all the pesky packaging:

Melt Wild Vegan Chocolate Easter Egg

Melt believes that dairy-free chocolate has failed to match up to the creamy texture of traditional milk chocolate for too long.

Their Wild Egg is handcrafted using wild chocolate from one of their favourite chocolate bars, made from wild cocoa trees in the Amazon rainforest. This is a delicious vegan egg made from rare organic cocoa beans from Bolivia. Exquisite chocolate with notes of fruit and a smooth, sweet texture. Ideal for vegans who care about plant-based living.

Melt then handcrafts its chocolate in their kitchen in the heart of Notting Hill–keeping food miles to a minimum. Their eggs come in beautiful plastic-free packaging–because they wish to keep the Amazon pristine.

H!P Salted Caramel Oat Milk Easter Egg

H!P chocolate was born out of a desire to eat good quality, creamy vegan chocolate. That’s why at H!P, they use the best quality single-origin Colombian cacao and combine this with creamy gluten-free oat milk.

H!P wanted to create something that offers a creamy texture that other alternative milk choices simply can't provide. Oat milk outperforms other plant milks in sustainability, healthiness and, importantly, taste too. Oat Milk contains no added sugars whilst high in fibre, protein and vitamins like zinc, vitamin D, and magnesium.

It is allergen-free, soy-free, and gluten-free, therefore appealing to a broader range of consumers while being one of the most sustainable choices.

H!P care as much about providing ethically sourced chocolate as they do, ensuring it is a delight for the taste buds! They source the cocoa that goes into making their delicious chocolate from a family-owned business in Bogota, Colombia, which has grown cocoa for over 100 years. They harvest their own beans and work alongside other cocoa farmers to create long-term, sustainable relationships, creating slave-free chocolate.

What’s more, their Easter eggs come in plastic-free packaging. The outer packaging is made from recyclable cardboard, and the inner transparent film is an eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap made out of wood pulp, which is compostable. Perfect!
